Emmanuel Macron, it was expected, promises a pension reform in a second term, where the legal age of departure would be gradually delayed to 65.
A measure which appears in the program of Valérie Pécresse, like the end of the royalty, promised Monday.
What to classify this start of the campaign on the right?
Of course, among walkers, these categorizations don't make sense, but all the same...
Little by little, one month before the first round of the presidential election, Emmanuel Macron and his family are drawing what a second term could look like.
Latest element: a pension reform – it was expected – with a minimum pension of 1,100 euros per month and above all a legal age gradually postponed to 65 years.
On Monday, during his first field trip, the president-candidate had announced the end of the audiovisual license fee to, he said, increase the purchasing power of French women and men.
The abolition of a tax and the decline in the retirement age: two measures that look quite clearly to the right, no?
Not at all, explains the spokesperson for La République en Marche (LREM), Maud Bregeon.
"We are not in a logic of '' right '' or '' left '', we are in a logic of common sense!
For the daily lives of French people and the sustainability of major social achievements.
“On the left, however, we do not have words harsh enough to criticize the Macronist promise: “An antisocial and cruel proposal for people who do difficult jobs”, judge Ian Brossat, campaign director of Fabien Roussel.
“Absolute disagreement!
“, claimed Jean-Luc Mélenchon who is campaigning for the return to retirement at 60 years old.
“Extremely unfair”, for Yannick Jadot, who does not go as far as the rebellious but proposes a reform with the priority of the question of arduousness.
triangulation
"Right-left" logic or not, these are measures that are found in the program of the LR presidential candidate.
“If Valérie Pécresse joins the ideas of our candidate, that means that they are widely shared!
“, rejoices Maud Bregeon.
At LR, we have it rather bad: "Emmanuel Macron is triangulating, it's not the first time", notes the speech Agnès Evren.
Triangulate?
In common parlance, promote measures traditionally labeled on the other side.
“On the one hand, we have a candidate who shaves for free, who makes announcements – as on the audiovisual license fee – without explaining how they are financed, while, on the other, Valérie Pécresse is in rationalization.
»
“Without waffling”, the elected Parisian recognizes that these announcements “obviously weaken” her candidate.
The stakes are high: Emmanuel Macron is the second choice of a majority of voters of Valérie Pécresse in most opinion polls, and vice versa.
To counter-attack, the Pécresse camp delivers its favorite argument against the outgoing: “Why would the candidate do what the president did not do?
We have been saying the same thing about pension reform for eight years!
If we had been listened to two years ago, not only would the reform have been passed, but it would already apply!
“says Agnès Evren.
Left leg
In all this, we have forgotten the famous "left leg" macronist.
Will we see her again in the countryside?
Once again, Maud Bregeon refuses such a categorization of the measures of the candidate president.
But, all the same "when Emmanuel Macron speaks of the generational pact, with the emphasis on education, the France of equal opportunities, against house arrest, we are on real measures of social transformation" , judges the walker.
